SINGAPORE: After the police discovered an illegal 18-person gathering at the flat she shared with her fiance, a woman fought bitterly with her fiance and dissolved the engagement.

They came into close contact with each other while eating, drinking alcohol, playing games and watching Netflix, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Lee Wei Liang. Eventually, Leong opened the door, lying to the officer that he and Ong were the only ones inside, before saying there were eight to 10 people in the flat.After the police left the scene, Ong had"a big argument" with Leong, and they eventually decided to call off the engagement, said defence lawyers Cory Wong, Josephus Tan and Marshall Lim of Invictus Law.

There was a large number of people in the gathering, which lasted several hours, and everyone must do their part to abide by safe-distancing measures to effectively contain the virus, he said.
